Jultan Ralph, writing of "The Choir
Boy a of England," in The Ladies'
Home Journal, says: "Small hoys are
much preferred, for the reason that
they develop into manhood later than [
big, stalwart children, for it is at the
coming of manhood that their voices
break and they are obliged to stop
singing until their adult tones are
reached?a matter of years. A boyish
treble Is as delicate as tlie bloom on
a peach, and its possessor must lead an
orderly and innocent life, which is why j
so many choirs are made tip of boys
taken from their homes and boarded
and taught In church institutions.
These, sometimes, are able to sing tintil
they are 17 or 18 years of age,
though between 14 and lo is the usual
period when their voices break."

WILD TALK OF THE

Stated the Powers Will Hang
Tuan and the Em press.
TO LAY PEKING- IN ASHES
These and Many Other Sensational
Stories Are Published?Only Thonght
of the Powers Is How llest to ltench
City of Pelting.
London, July 17.?Europoau journals
are indulging iu a great deal of wild
talk, crediting t-lie powers with having
decided to lay Peking in ashes, remove
the capital to Canton and hang the empress
and Prince Tuan, bat the writers
fail to take into account the difficulties
which would attend such undertakings.
However the chancellories fully recognize
the magnitude of the task confronting
the great powers. As a matter of
fact, as has already been pointed out,
the only thought for the moment of the
.powers is how to best roach Peking.
^ Once there they can bo depended on, according
to the best official information,
to exact wliatover penalty appears to bo
1 the most striking and effective.
The news of the snccoss of the allied
forces at Tien Tsiu, though that success
has been dearly bought, appears to clear
| the air somewhat. This victory over
the Chinese, it is hoped, will enable the
allies to resume preparations for an advance,
especially since it is announced
that the Japanese force of 33,000 will all
bo disembarked by July 10 at the latest.
The suggestions of scattering the
iorces throughout China in pursuit of
' the Boxers emanate wholly from irresponsible
quarters. In official circles
there is a full realization of the uoces'
sity of having the coast towns occupied
and secure before proceeding to Peking.
The only course open to the powers is
to remain in thO'/tapital until fanaticism
wears itself out 4ud the elements of am

miles of Shanghai, ready to hum the
town in the event of an attack by the
Europeans upon the NVoo Sung forts.
According to a telegram from Che

t "Tliore again," replied Gouernl Gros3
veuor, "is room for donbt. Some say
tho allies began tho attack there. It
f was a great mistake if they did. Every
. day Minister Wu, at Washington, is issuing
soihe kind of a statement, but in
every one of them there is some purpose
p cnnniuirlv nresented to throw the re
! sponsibility ou the foreigners for the
present stato of affair.?."
"The Chinese soein to fight desper- .
t ately," the reporter suggested.
, "Yes," General Gtosvenor replied.
C "For some inscrutable reason the Ger1
mans hnvo for years been drilling tho
r Chinese and furnishing them with arms
and ammunition. The war department
has long been aware that China is well
equipped with modern armaments. Now
she is using it against Germany. While
I believe the government will act
